Time


I had a wonderful time creating this line. I spent time with my father, who collects and repairs vintage pocket watches. He gave me some wonderful parts that I chose for inclusions in the pendants. Some parts were copper, which turned a beautiful red in the kiln and some were brass while others were enameled. After a couple of test firings, I tweaked the firing schedule to minimize air bubble formation and stress in the glass from the watch pieces. This is the type of glass fusing that I really love. It takes more time than doing a dichroic piece but they are so different and rich with their own past history.

Is the grass turning green?

I am really hoping for warmer weather to come soon! I have used up so many of my four leaf clovers creating jewelry and accessories and it is time to go four leaf clover hunting once again!! So many people bought the four leaf clover bottle cap necklaces since I started making them last Fall. I hope that each and every person out there that wears one has had a bit of good luck find them. ;)
